Tibetan mastiff

The Tibetan Mastiff is a large and powerful dog breed originally bred by nomadic cultures of Tibet, China, Nepal, and India to protect livestock from predators like wolves and bears. They are known for their impressive size, thick double coat, and lion-like mane. Tibetan Mastiffs are independent, confident, and protective, making them excellent guard dogs. They are also known to be loyal, but they can be aloof with strangers and sometimes stubborn in training. Despite their imposing appearance, they can be affectionate with their families.
